At (查询于2006-09-23) Photo-duplicatesof books, newspapers, maps, etc. can be furnished at a reasonable rate by meansof the Photostat installed in the Chief Clerk’s Office. 同注22. Whatever maybe the bounds of "fair use" as defined and applied by the courts,defendant is clearly outside those bounds. Defendant''s photocopying iswholesale copying and meets none of the criteria for "fair use." Thephotocopies are exact duplicates of the original articles; are intended to besubstitutes for, and serve the same purpose as, the original articles; andserve to diminish plaintiff''s potential market for the original articles sincethe photocopies are made at the request of, and for the benefit of, the verypersons who constitute plaintiff''s market. Defendant says, nevertheless, thatplaintiff has failed to show that it has been harmed by unauthorizedphotocopying; and that, in fact, plaintiff''s journal subscriptions haveincreased steadily over the last decade. Plaintiff need not prove actualdamages to make out its case for infringement. 同注22.
